Urgent care

If you are in need of urgent care, CareNow is here to help. There are multiple CareNow locations throughout the Denver area offering high-quality care, extended hours and online check-in. All of our locations are part of the HCA HealthONE network, meaning trusted, expert care is always close and convenient.

When you come to one of our walk-in clinics, you will receive convenient, high-quality care that is backed by our patient-centered health system: HCA Healthcare.

We offer a wide range of services, including:

• Drug screenings
• Flu shots
• On-site diagnostics for COVID-19, flu, strep or mononucleosis (mono)
• X-ray services for minor physical injuries
• Sports physicals (often required for students to participate in school sports)
• Occupational medicine
• Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing
• UTI treatment
• Various vaccinations (often required for students or in order to travel)

When visiting one of our urgent care clinics, you can expect the same level of professionalism that you’ve come to rely on from HCA HealthONE. Our clinics deliver quality care seven days a week, during most holidays and after hours for adults and children three months old and older. If your CareNow physician recommends a higher level of care, they will connect you with HCA HealthONE’s resources and specialists for further treatment.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Urgent care locations or walk-in clinics typically treat minor illnesses, such as flu or strep throat. This makes our urgent care locations ideal for treating 24-hour illnesses and other symptoms if you are unable to see your primary care doctor.

When you or a loved one is experiencing severe pain or discomfort, it can be hard to tell if you should go to your primary care physician, an urgent care clinic or the emergency room (ER). If you are experiencing a medical emergency, especially a potential heart attack or cardiac event, you should immediately go to your nearest ER, not an urgent care clinic.

When to go to an ER

You should choose to visit the nearest ER when you require immediate care or suspect a condition is life-threatening.

Conditions requiring emergency care include:

• Any concern where you feel a delay in care may have a significant impact on your health
• Broken bones
• Change in mental status, such as confusion
• Chest pain lasting two minutes or more
• Coughing or vomiting blood
• Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath or choking
• Loss of consciousness
• Severe allergic reaction
• Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Sudden dizziness, weakness or change in vision
• Sudden or severe sprain
• Uncontrolled bleeding
